The team only stayed in the Azure Mountains for two days, and as Sorin said, they did not do anything other than resupply and repair their weapons. In fact, most of the dwarves in the Azure Mountains were very cold to Sorin's party. It was not a polite indifference, but a kind of indifference that did not concern them at all. This was very strange. On one hand, Sorin had a great reputation, and all the dwarves who saw him, whether noble or commoner, whether craftsman or craftsman, would bow their heads to show respect and submission. However, this enthusiasm was not brought to the recovery of the Lonely Mountain. When they left, Sorin's party still only had the same number of dwarves, and at least a thousand elite guards in the Azure Mountains did not follow them.
Sorin's expression became even colder after leaving the Azure Mountains. Even when the dwarves made a small mistake, he would coldly reprimand them. This was obviously not the behavior of a good leader, but he could not suppress it. It was not for anything else, but because of the obvious rejection from the Azure Mountains. It was just like the rejection from the dwarves before, polite, cold, and irrevocable.
Apart from him and some of the Turin Dwarves, no one else in the whole of Middle Earth wanted the kingdom under the mountain to reappear …
No, perhaps Gandalf was an exception … Of course, Team Nordic was also an exception.
In fact, Chu Hao had another guess, but he did not tell anyone. There was such a detail in the movie, and that was when Sorin's party was chased by the orc army, Gandalf angrily questioned Sorin who else he told the itinerary to, and Sorin said that he did not tell anyone except them.
Then the question was, if Sorin kept it a secret so well, how did the orc army know his itinerary so well, and even caught the key points of his itinerary several times, almost killing him?
Who, who leaked the secret?
Chu Hao was not afraid of thinking about human nature in the dark. Could it be … Some of the noble dwarves in the Azure Mountains, or all of them, betrayed Sorin? The reason was simple, they did not want to lose the power in their hands …
No matter what, the path had to be walked. After leaving the Azure Mountains, Zhang Heng and Tom curiously asked Chu Hao about the layout he talked about. They followed along the way in the Azure Mountains, and apart from seeing Chu Hao criticize the elite dwarven guards and the surrounding commoners in front of the senate, saying that they had lost the glory of the dwarves, and treated Sorin unfairly, a speech that was not very intense. Other than giving the dwarven nobles more things to talk about, and silencing the commoners who relied on the Azure Mountains............ Chu Hao......
"Of course … the ambush is complete." Chu Hao ignored the puzzled expressions of the inquisitors, and said with certainty with a smile, "All the foreshadowing, all the hidden lines, I've done it all. Now, we only need to ferment it. The ferment time is around the time when the dwarves go to the Goblin Kingdom and get captured, until Birbo Baggins gets the One Ring. That will be the climax of this team battle. At that time, we will face off against team Celestial, or the alliance between team Celestial and team India, or our two teams working together to face team Celestial, or even a chaotic battle between the three teams. In short, the most important part of this movie is here! And at that time, the hidden lines I've planted will be our greatest strength against team Celestial! "
What kind of foreshadowing was it? Everyone asked, but Chu Hao only smiled without saying anything. Only he knew that this was his area of expertise …
Every wise man had their own area of expertise. For example, analysis, planning, decision-making, deception, conspiracy, and overt schemes. Wise men might seem omnipotent to ordinary people, but in reality, they definitely had their own areas of expertise. As for Chu Hao, he was actually not good at analysis, planning, or conspiracy. Deceit and disguise might be considered as his areas of expertise, but in reality, what he was most proud of was … The Art of War!
Yes, as one of the three leaders of the Renegades Organization, and the only one who commanded the entire army, he had been in a state of close combat with C Organization from the start. He had to experience all kinds of battlefields, be it a tactical team or a large-scale battle. These were all areas he had to experience and familiarize himself with. He was also the only one of the three O6s who wasn't an ordinary wise man … the dark art of war, the Chu Clan's Killing Method.
This time, the One Ring was suitable for the art of war …
Putting aside Team Nordic's various aspects of this battle, on the other hand, Sorin's respect for Chu Hao and his team had increased. This was very obvious. The Dwarves also became closer to them, for no other reason than Chu Hao's "righteous words" in Blue Mountain. This was something that many people had never done before, including Gandalf due to his identity. But Chu Hao, as a Wizard, had actually done this. Sorin and the other Dwarves finally believed that Chu Hao was on their side, so they were much friendlier along the way.
On the other hand, after leaving Blue Mountain, Sorin's team had to choose a path. There was no such thing as a highway in this world. In fact, even in the human world, there was no such thing as a highway. Even if there were roads, they were either small roads in the countryside or roads in towns. After leaving the towns, there was no such thing as a road. There were only farmlands, forests, mountains, swamps and the like. In theory, as long as the direction was correct, it was possible to go from one place to another, but …
"We should follow the coast and go through Rivendell, then cross the mountains and reach Lonely Mountain from this direction."
During dinner, Sorin took out a map and looked at it carefully. Gandalf sat beside him and smoked his pipe. At this time, Gandalf said to Sorin.
Sorin silently closed the map, then said to Gandalf in a low voice, "I will not go to Rivendell! You know this very well. The Elves will never support us in taking back Lonely Mountain. They abandoned us because of the Fire Dragon, and now they will still stop us. You know very well that no one will fight for us. They will never want the kingdom under the mountain to reappear! "Gandalf was silent for a while.
"But you can't fight alone. Apart from going along the coast and heading towards the lonely mountain from Rivendell, the other way is through the wilderness. There are orcs, half-orcs, goblins, trolls, and even more terrifying things. You should know that with our small numbers, it's impossible to pass through there. I've chosen the safest way, not to mention …" Gandalf sighed at Sorin's accusation.
Sorin also listened to Gandalf's words silently. He crossed his arms and said, "Besides what? Just say what you have to say. "
Gandalf blew out a large smoke ring and said, "Besides, I am not familiar with the ancient Dwarven language on this map. It is from the first era. The Dwarves and the High Elves were from the same era. In the current Middle-earth, only a few Elves have this knowledge. King Elrond of Rivendell is one of them. He is a High Elf, one of the few High Elves in Middle-earth."
Sorin did not say anything else. He silently kept the map in his arms and carefully stored it away.
Chu Hao witnessed the entire conversation clearly. Actually, whether it was the movie's details or the dialogue here, he could tell that Sorin had already agreed to Gandalf's suggestion to go to Rivendell. Sorin's heart was actually yearning for more assistance, such as the Elves who were once allies of the Dwarves. Unfortunately, although he was received in Rivendell in the movie, he did not receive any help in terms of strength. From some details, it could be seen that the Elves were actually disdainful and despised Sorin and the Dwarves. Back then, the Kingdom under the Mountain could even make the Elven King bow his head. This was the difference. This was the reason why Sorin desired to reclaim the Kingdom under the Mountain … …
But then again, why was the Kingdom under the Mountain so lofty in the first place? Even the Elves had to bow their heads. What did the Kingdom under the Mountain represent? Why was it that once the Kingdom under the Mountain was occupied by the Fire Dragon, no faction in Middle-earth wished for it to succeed? The Kingdom under the Mountain … … What kind of power did it possess to make all the factions in Middle-earth so fearful? Was this a foreshadowing that was not written in the movie and novel?
In the Return to God's Realm, once the mission was completed, all the parties would immediately return. One was to kill the Fire Dragon Stauge, another was to obtain the One Ring, and the third was to obtain the Heart of the Mountain … … Among the three, the Fire Dragon Stauge naturally had terrifying strength. The One Ring was the core of Middle-earth's prequel and trilogy. Then, what about the Heart of the Mountain? It was only a gem that symbolized the authority of the Kingdom under the Mountain … … Or rather, what other meaning did the Heart of the Mountain and the Kingdom under the Mountain have? Was this the reason why almost all the factions in Middle-earth did not allow the Kingdom under the Mountain to be reestablished?
Unknowingly, Chu Hao had already thought too much … …
On the second day of the conversation, Sorin and his party, along with Team Nordic, arrived at a half-abandoned farm on the edge of the human world on the ninth day after Team Nordic's arrival. In the movie, this was the place where Sorin and his party encountered the Trolls.
Team Nordic's first battle in this world … … was about to begin.
